Leather Care Guide

Your Eli & Kai leather journal is built to last a lifetime. To preserve its natural beauty:

1. Handling

  • Avoid contact with water, oils, lotions, perfumes, and inks.
  • If the leather becomes wet, blot with a soft dry cloth and let it air-dry naturally. Do not apply heat.

2. Conditioning

  • Apply a neutral leather conditioner or balm every 6–12 months to keep leather supple.
  • Always test products on a discreet area first.

3. Storage

  • Store in your cotton slipcover when not in use.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

4. Natural Patina

  • Vegetable-tanned leather naturally darkens, softens, and develops a patina over time.
  • Marks, tonal changes, and grain variations are part of authentic leather and not faults.

Proper care ensures your journal ages beautifully and becomes uniquely yours.
